Answer:
Let the length of original rope be x.
Total number of parts = 5 + 8 = 13
Length of longer part = 5/13 x
Length of shorter part = 3/8 x
5/13 x - 3/13 x = 2/13
2/13 x = 16
x = 16 * 13/2
=x = 208/2 = 104
Therefore, actual length of rope is 64 cm.
Thus, longer part of rope:
= 5/13 x
= 5/13 × 64
= 320/13
=24 8/13 or 24.61
